The perks of knowing Klingon?

I don't know how true this story is (I read it on a SciFi forum and it sounds more like an urban legend than anything) but here it is:
A Trekkie got lost in Japan without any maps or money. He couldn't ask anyone for directions, since he didn't speak a word of Japanese and none of the people he approached spoke English. But just as he was about to resign himself to life as a hobo on the streets of Tokyo, he saw a man in a Star Trek uniform. The Trekkie asked him for directions in Klingon and to his surprise, the man in the uniform replied! He was able to get back to the hotel after that. (With his new Klingon friend? I'd imagine they would walk arm-in-arm discussing the nutritional benefits of Gagh. )
